Description:

Project ID: D2011-28

Background:

The goal for the last three decades of those in the logic and memory device market has been to increase the number of components on an integrated circuit chip. This technology provides for a new method of storing data through modulating the conductance on a two-terminal device--an improvement from current memory technologies that require three terminals.

Invention Description:

Unique functionality allows heterogeneous integration of magnetic and electronic charge based memory components, and offers non-volatile memory, and high ROFF/ RON ratio. In addition, the technology is highly scalable, uses CMOS-compatible materials and needs no electroforming.
